My hair just hitting my shoulders and I have a hard time styling it, so I put it in a pony tail 90% of the time. I use regular old $4 for a dozen at target elastic hair ties, and thin scrunchies. I also have a few cute hair clips that I can use instead of a tie, but is not good for working out. I find the plastic head bands too tight and give me a headache. I like the scrunching brand wide headbands because they have silicone bumps on the bottom to hold them in place.
